Routers are Not the Only Way to Go When it Comes to Home Networking

When it comes to home network setups, routers are usually the first thing you think of. However, they are not the only option for connecting your devices to the internet. A popular alternative that is quickly gaining popularity is mesh networks.

In a mesh network, there’s no central hub like a router that deals with the traffic caused by your devices. Instead, all of your devices actually talk to each other. A mesh network is all about cooperation.

They are many advantages to having a mesh network, but there are also some cons. At Ratio AV, we will help you make an informed decision on whether a mesh network is right for you.

More Home Devices Demand More of Your Network

There are now more home systems and devices that can be connected to the internet than at any other time. If you have already begun to automate your home system, you know you need a robust network to handle it all.

And nowadays, at the same time when more of our household is being integrated into our home network system, we find that a lot of us our suddenly working from home as well as our kids having virtual classes from home.

Needless to say, all of this extra internet use is probably going to require something extra, and that’s where Wi-Fi 6 can help. Our clients in Park City, UT, are discovering that their home networks need the kind of information output that Wi-Fi 6 can provide.

When once a regular weekly trip to the movie theater was par for the course for families around the country, now the safest way to get the full theater experience is from home.

While you might think that a 4K TV is going to be just fine for your home theater, there are a few compelling reasons why an 8K TV is the way to go. Keep reading to explore why!
